First Embassy Visit

 Church in Karina's birth town.

April 18th - our first day as a family - waiting for paperwork in the car.

Today, Mama found a wine glass in the apt. that she uses for her water. She and Karina were playing "fancy dinner party" together with the water/wine!

Papa is sick in bed, and Karina brings him water and hugs (in the wine glass, of course!)

 Papa and Karina watching Hannah this afternoon in the apt. 

Mama! Are you taking our picture?

Today, we all slept in because Papa was sick. We ate breakfast across the street (Little Chix chose cucumber slaw, french toast and milk) and we had our first US embassy visit. The first one is paperwork. The day was slow because Papa stayed inside, so we ventured out, just Little Chix and Mama to find a nail place to get her nails done (it is a necessity, believe me). Her cuticles were in terrible shape, as were the hang nails. She loved the attention. We mostly just walked around, watched a few Hannah Montana shows and ate today. Karina loves to help and wash dishes and carry things, and also make tea. She likes black tea and makes it for us. She likes to go grocery shopping as well, so we had fun letting her push the cart and shop with us. That was a highlight of our day today!

We very much hope that tomorrow we can have the passport in time to get her medical exam and second embassy interview. We'd really love to fly home Sunday!
